Preparing for the Kindle Fire: Amazon App Store Updates to 2.0

Next Tuesday, November 15th, Amazon will release the much-anticipated Kindle Fire. The 7″ Android tablet has been rumored to be receiving a huge number of pre-orders – 250,000 in the first 5 days if the news reports are correct. Now, with the release only 5 days away, Amazon has bumped their App Store to version 2.0.

The new look of the App Store is designed to make it more tablet-compatible. In fact, the user interface looks very Kindle Fire-like with the new UI being a mix of greys and black, instead of the previous mostly white background. Amazon has also introduced better control with the addition of Parental Controls, plus they have enabled in-app purchases.
